When Allegiant Air sends out their ever weekly email about the latest deals I often just browse and move on, more often than not the timing is never right for me with work and life.

When I woke up one morning all filled with wonderlust I thought heck with it let me see where the pin will land.  It landed in Mesa Arizona and for a whopping $69 one way… Work and life were officially on hold for my ultimate Bucket List destination! The Grand Canyon was officially on!

It was a quick 3.5 day trip (I’m Virgo, we work in fractions) with a full 2 days on the Grand Canyon’s South Rim.  Let me just say, yes all the photos I have seen are beyond spectacular but seeing it in person? There are no words to describe the emotions that take over your mind, body and soul.

Worth a quick trip? Hell yes!

Here are a few photos to inspire you to be spontaneous and get yourself to the Grand Canyon!

Nothing but Canyon upon Canyon

Where ever you look…

Hows this for a spot of meditation?

I had a moment of crazy trying to hug a Canyon

How can you resist this?

Took me a while to get over my fear but was so happy I did

Long long drops!

Another meditation spot!

Sitting on a ledge with nothing but views… is pretty much heaven!

Me contemplating life and enjoying the moment

Oh deer?

Lots and lots of cute birds too!

Did I mention the wicked trees?

The sunsets are out of this world!

Come on… admit it… you want to go now!

Like out of a fairytale…

Don’t start me on the sunsets!

See what I mean!
